Purpose: This study aims to examine individuals' lifestyle, personality traits, motives and sustainable consumption behaviors within the framework of demographic variables. The data collected from 518 participants by convenience sampling method were analyzed with the help of statistical package programs. Independent Sample T Test, One-Way Anova and Cluster analysis were performed and the following results were obtained. Life style perceptions of individuals differ according to marital status, age and occupation. Personality differs according to gender, marital status, age, education and occupational groups. Motives differ according to marital status and age, but no difference was found in other variables. When the change in sustainable consumption behavior according to demographic variables is examined, it is seen that it differs according to marital status, age, education and occupational groups. The study was also subjected to clustering analysis in terms of personality, lifestyle, motives and sub-dimensions of sustainable consumption. Using hierarchical clustering method, the study was divided into two clusters as people with high and medium perception levels. As a result of the clustering analysis, it was seen that the variable with the highest degree of importance was the self-efficacy variable from the multidimensional personality sub-dimensions and its degree of importance was 100%. The variable with the lowest degree of importance was found to be the motives dimension. As a result of the study, it was concluded that demographic differences can give different results or show changes according to the variables. Various suggestions were made in line with the results obtained.
